I think the teamsters know that Bernie is not going to be the forerunner in the Democrat party .. The party's back up if Hillary falters will be Biden.. He has even been invited to the first debate and he hasn't even declared if he is running.. IMO both parties are a mess and I kinda think that over the next years to come this country is screwed.. And besides Hoffa might wait till after the election so he gets it right..

Country is already screwed because we rely on these fools to run it, there's nothing to stop it from getting worse either, no Bernie Sanders no Donald Trump or Shrillary will make it better. Our union can't find it's own ass let alone pick a good candidate, jr is a disaster and throwing names in the air to pick one shouldn't surprise anyone.

(WASHINGTON) – On Tuesday, Sept. 29 the Teamsters Union General Executive Board decided to not endorse a presidential candidate at this time.

The Teamsters look forward to meeting with Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders and any other candidate, regardless of party affiliation, who is committed to improving the lives of America’s working families. This would include Vice President Joe Biden should he choose to run. In addition to meeting with the candidates, the union plans to survey its leaders and membership as well.

It’s long past time for Republicans and Democrats to put aside their differences and work together for the good of our country,” said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. “The Teamsters will work with and support any candidate who puts the needs of America’s working families above the deep pockets of their corporate donors.”

I think Hoffa is right in withholding union support until he sees which candidate will commit to best serving the labor movement
